which one?

I'm going to get my cpl next week and I'm trying to decide on a holster. I had my mind all made up, a Comp Tac MTAC. Then I saw the Raven concealment Phantom. For now have a Blackhawk Serpa, but would prefer IWB. I will be carrying a SA XD 45C. Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks

I don't really care for the crossbreed, it looks to me to be almost identical to the CompTac Spartan . They both appear they would both need a tucked undershirt to be comfortable, seems like those fasteners would irritate the skin.

I think I'm leaning towards the raven concealment. It just looks like it would hold the holster a little closer to the body. My only concern is comfort of the kydex against the skin, I know I sound contradictory, but I think the raven still seems to be more comfortable. Any input would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

the kydex will be extreamly hot in the summertime. The clips on the crossbreed , you dont feel them . Plus with the crossbreed they have the 2 week try out. if you dont like it , send it back. Helps to keep down the holster drawer.

Ok, now I am actually going to answer the question after looking up the Raven Phantom. I would suggest the MTAC simply because I have used the Crossbreed with a leather backing and find that it adds comfort and conforms to your body. The Phantom does not appear to have that quality. I would suggest that you get a holster that is designed from the ground up to be IWB not one that is more 'versatile'. I have never used either of these products, just read good things about the MTAC and use a holster of similar design.
